Xiaomi Redmi 6 teaser promises no lag even after long-term use

Xiaomi Redmi 6 might come in three different variants and offer a notched display.

Xiaomi confirmed yesterday that its Redmi 6 series will launch in China on June 12. The Chinese smartphone maker is rumored to introduce three new smartphones – Redmi 6, Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 Pro/Plus. Now, the company has put out another teaser suggesting it will be a surprise upgrade.

In a fresh teaser shared today via Weibo, Xiaomi is promising that Redmi 6 will have no lags even after long-term use. It is not immediately clear what Xiaomi means by saying the smartphone will not lag even after long term-use. In the case of Android smartphones, it is commonly observed that devices slow down in terms of performance after certain period of time.

Most Android OEMs tend to address this issue by offering software updates, which don’t often reach entry-level and mid-range smartphones. With Redmi 6 teaser, Xiaomi might be hinting at continued software support for the device even few years after its purchase. However, the company does not reveal what sort of optimization one can expect to ensure smooth functionality even with long-term use.
